Happy Friday!
I hope you all are ready to kick off another fun weekend. I’ll know I’ll be wearing my latest make, the Love Notions Lotus Blossom Top, for any of weekend activities. I love the front twist design that jazzes up this basic knit tee!
Pattern Details
This pattern is available in sizes XS-3X for full bust sizes of 33″ to 49.5 and it will be getting an upgrade to 5X soon. This will increase the full bust size range up to 57.5 inches. If you purchase the pattern now, you’ll get the upgrade for free when the update is released. There is also an option to add a lace insert or contrast color using an additional back insert pattern piece.
Sewing
I sewed a size medium in a beautiful bamboo knit from Mood Fabrics. It has a lovely and soft drape, but had to be sewn with extraordinary care because any snag could rip a hole in the fabric. I didn’t make any fit changes and the directions were easy to follow. The included diagram clearly lays out how to make the cute twist on the front.
I actually started this project about a year ago but didn’t complete it. I sewed a zigzag stitch on the neckline, and it came out pretty wonky, so I put it aside. I decided that it was high time that I go ahead and finish it up, because I didn’t want to waste this gorgeous fabric.
Final Thoughts
This a unique style top that I think an advanced beginner and above could complete in a few hours. I think you’ll enjoy having this fun top in your wardrobe.
This pattern along with the Girl’s Lotus Blossom Top are on sale for this week’s Feature Friday patterns.
